NCT ID NCT03124212
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at families in Switzerland who carry genes that raise the risk of breast, ovarian, colorectal, or endometrial cancers. Researchers will survey both the person with the gene mutation and their close relatives to understand how many get tested and what barriers they face. The goal is to find better ways to offer genetic counseling and testing to prevent cancer deaths.
